I was going to subject everyone to a Christmas song in this weeks mix but I ended up finding some interesting stuff late in the week. Trust me though, the Christmas songs are coming. Klaxons – My Love (Justin Timberlake cover) New Rave pioneers, or whatever the Brit's are calling it these days. This is not rave music but yes they do like pop songs and they do like synths. I have to give [...]
From McSWeeney's Lists : Listen to the song first: Charlie Daniel's Band - Devil Went Down to Georgia . THIRTY-NINE QUESTIONS FOR CHARLIE DANIELS UPON HEARING "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" for the First Time in 25 Years . BY JOHN MOE - - - - 1. The Devil won that fiddling contest, right? 2.

This summer, when I wasn't reading Cormac McCarthy novels, I was flipping through LPs in the musty records shops of upstate New York. What happened is I started dreaming up a soundtrack for some amalgamated film interpretation of Blood Meridian , All the Pretty Horses , The Crossing and No Country For Old Men .

Two differnt occasions today, while stuck at an intersection in my car, I overheard Southern Rock from the 70's blaring out car stereo speakers. The first was Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird and the second was Sweet Home Alabama (from the same band of course). I wouldn't be surprised if the tunes were being generated from a cassette tape. Southern rock has a very special meaning to my past. Having moved to Florida when I was 17 (that would be 1977 if you are [...]
The music world has lost a true pioneer. Phil Walden passed away on Sunday after a long battle with cancer. You may not recognize his name, but you do know the names of the artists that he helped build careers in the music business. Otis Redding...Al Green...Percy Sledge...Sam and Dave. And that's just the tip of the ice cube in your iced tea! Phil Walden founded Capricorn Records in 1969 in Macon, Georgia. That music label helped define a generation of southern rock bands like the [...]
